Student Opportunities

Join our team and explore the physics of life and quantum technology.
We offer a unique environment where you can work on cutting-edge research from day one. Whether you are interested in developing new quantum experiments (PRIMUS grant) or investigating the fundamental quantum principles of photosynthesis (GAČR grant), we have a place for you.

We offer competitive stipends for motivated students involved in our grant projects.


Bachelor Theses & Summer Projects

We are looking for students for projects in our research. You will gain hands-on skills that are valued in both academia and industry.

What you will learn:

  • Hardware Control: Programming experimental sequences using Python and Arduino.
  • Instrumentation: Design and simulation of optical and microwave components.
  • Measurement: Sample preparation and performing ultrafast spectroscopy.

Interested? Email us to arrange a lab tour.

Master & PhD Theses

We are recruiting for specific projects starting in the 2025/2026 academic year. Below are examples of currently open topics:

Quantum Sensing & Metrology

  • Building a quantum micromagnetometer with NV centers in diamond

    (Focus: NV centers, relaxometry, confocal microscopy, optical pulses)

  • Spin-Polarization Transfer from Diamond NV Centers to External Liquids

    (Focus: Micro-NMR, polarization transfer, diamond surface chemistry)

Biophysics & Photosynthesis

  • Energy transfer pathways in biocomposite reactors
    (Focus: Harnessing natural photosynthetic principles)
  • Time-resolved fluorescence of photosynthetic complexes
    (Focus: Ultrafast spectroscopy and light harvesting)

International Students

We welcome students from abroad!
Our group is internationally oriented. We actively support student exchanges and internships through:
